vB POP3 / IMAP Email Client 1.4 - by Dr. Erwin Loh

vB3 version here:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=66247

World's easiest hack to install! Upload a file, and you're done! No templates to add, no files to edit!!!

Ever wanted to access your POP3 or IMAP email account when you are away from your Outlook Express? Sick of Hotmail and free web-based email addresses, and want to just stick with your ISP email account? Want to be able to use a web-based interface? Want to be able to integrate this interface into your forums and offer it to your members?

Here we have it - I've created a file that does all that.

Features:

1. Only 1 file to upload, no templates, no file edits!
2. Automatic integration into your forums, with your forum colors and layout.
3. Accesses any POP3 or IMAP email account.
4. Ability to bypass any firewalls that any mail servers may have.
5. Ability to READ, REPLY, REPLY ALL, DELETE, FORWARD, and COMPOSE emails using the interface.
6. Ability to read HTML emails.
7. Ability to ATTACH files.
8. Ability to VIEW / DOWNLOAD ATTACHMENTS.
9. Ability to show HEADERS of emails.
10. Ability to allow certain usergroups access to this.
11. Ability to allow or disallow users from changing their FROM: email address
12. Ability to let yourself change the FROM: email address at at all times.
13. Your user can use this to access their ISP email account, or (Yahoo email or Hotmail premium accounts) via your forums!


Installation:

Upload email.php into your forums directory, link to it, and you've got an instant web-based POP3/ IMAP email interface in your forums!

Nothing else to do!

By default, this allows registered members, moderators and admins access only. You can edit the top of email.php to add or remove usergroupids easily.

Settings:

At the top of the PHP file, you can change the variables to:

1. Decide which usergroups can use this
2. Allow or disallow the changing of the FROM: email address (security update)
3. Exempt yourself so you can always change the FROM: email address

Requirements:

1) This hack requires PHP 4 or higher on your server.

2) This hack requires you to have IMAP support compiled with PHP on your server. If you get a error like "imap_open undefined function", then you dont have IMAP support. Sorry!


Please click the install link at the bottom of this thread for updates.

Enjoy!

Add-On (OPTIONAL) - Username and Mail Server saved in Member Profile:

To make the Username and Password become part of a member's profile (I don't suggest to include password as well as staff can then have access to this), just create 2 custom profile fields in your Admin CP - one for Username, the other for Mail Host Server. Make sure they do not show up in the user's profile.

Then, note down the custom profile ID number of each of the 2 custom profile fields (hover your mouse over the link to each, and it's the number at the very end of the URL in the status bar).

Then, in email.php, find:

PHP Code:
if ($CMD=="")
    {
    if (!
$session_server)
        { 
Underneath, add:

PHP Code:
$user $bbuserinfo[fieldx];
$host $bbuserinfo[fieldy]; 
Change x to the ID number of the username profile ID, and y to the ID number of the host mail server profile ID. Done!

Updates

Version 1.1 - Fixed <td> errors. Fixed error where message did not show when attachment present.

Version 1.2 - Security update - Added settings at the top of the PHP file that you can change to allow or disallow users from changing their FROM: email address. You can exempt yourself and always be able to change your own FROM: email address by modifying the userid here as well.

Version 1.3 - Fixed header text colors - Minor cosmetic improvements - Fixed Attachment Viewer and Downloader!!!

Version 1.4 - Fixed PHP header and cookie problem for certain servers that prevented login.

Download:

When downloading, make sure it's the latest version - 1.4 (it will say this at the top of the PHP file).

Does this hack also work for VB 3.0.0 Gold?

I uploaded the file and tried it:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: gettemplate() in /www/htdocs/v104530/vbulletin/email.php on line 91 :speechless:

Erwin, do you have enough time to finish vb3 version ? you've released the beta 1 for vb3 but why it's deleted....
I'm eager to let my users read mail from my forum. That's incredible.

I'm working on a vB3 version, but it's on hold as I am busy with other things. I took the beta version out as it was not working.

Just piping in to say that I tried installing this on vb3 and got the same error message as Datenpapst (undefined function -- gettemplate.) I was wondering if there's been any update on the vb3 version. This looks like a great hack.

Erwin, I'm a programmer -- if you need a hand, please let me know. I'd be more than happy to help out.

I get the same error. I guess I need to wait for new version that works with VB3. So for now I will have to click on Uninstall. I will install when the new version comes out that works with VB3.
